Upon completion of the undergraduate phase, students will obtain a bachelor’s degree and after completing the postgraduate phase they receive a master’s degree.

Research universities and universities of applied sciences award both types of degrees. Institutes for International Education offer master’s programmes, but no bachelor’s programmes.

The Dutch institutions offer more than just bachelor’s or master’s programmes. In this database, you will also find MBA programmes, PhD programmes, courses to gain a certificate or diploma and other types of courses.

Qualification

Type of education

The European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS) is a model for comparing higher education in Europe. ECTS credits are awarded for successfully completed studies. ECTS credits indicate how many hours of study are required. In general, one academic year corresponds to 60 ECTS credits (equivalent to 1,500 – 1,800 hours of study).

Individual scholarships is 1 of the 4 instruments of the Orange Knowledge Programme aimed at mid-career professionals.

Course description

In this course, natural flow and groundwater flow patterns will be analysed using various tracer signals. In addition, emphasis will be put on Toth's description of hydrological flow systems.

Course description

This course treats different methods to analyse and assess hydrological flow systems. Special attention
will be given to hydrochemical and tracer hydrological approaches (incl. environmental isotopes) to delineate flow systems and understanding flow patterns in the environment. The use of tracer techniques will illustrate the determination of flow pathways, residence times of water, and the hydraulic properties of flow systems and the mixing of different water compartments.

Study subjects

The course treats different methods to analyse and assess hydrological flow systems. Special attention will be given to hydro-chemical and tracer hydrological approaches to delineate flow systems and understanding flow patterns in the environment. The use of tracer techniques will illustrate the determination of flow pathways, residence times of the water, the hydraulic properties of flow systems and the mixing of different water compartments. Also, characteristics of the natural flow field wil

Course objectives

Upon completion of this module, the student has:
• background and application knowledge of the concepts of tracer hydrology, with emphasis on environmental isotopes;
• background and application knowledge of the concept of hydrochemical facies analysis;
• gained practical experience in independently using these methodologies to quantitatively assess properties of and processes and their interactions in hydrological flow systems;
• the ability to carry out comprehensive hydrological flow systems

Information about the institution

IHE Delft Institute for Water Education is the largest international graduate water education facility in the world and the only institution in the UN system to confer accredited MSc degrees and promote PhDs. It offers degree programmes, short courses, online courses and tailor-made training.
Since 1957 the Institute has provided graduate education to more than 15,000 water professionals from over 160 countries. More than 175 PhD candidates were promoted.
IHE Delft is at the centre of a vast international network of water related institutions, and functions as an interface between knowledge networks and centres, public and private sector organizations, scientific and professional associations and other members of the international water community.
The Institute runs a substantial number of joint MSc programmes implemented in partnership with universities around the globe. These joint programmes combine the strengths of the collaborating institutions and deliver either multiple degrees or a joint degree.

In short, the following rules apply:

The “EU/EEA rate” is the regular fee for students from within the EU/EEA.

The “non-EU/EEA rate” is the rate for students from outside the EU/EEA.

The “institutional rate” is for all students who have already obtained a bachelor’s or master’s degree and who want to start a second programme leading to a degree at the same level or at a lower level.

Note that FT, PT and D stand for "full-time", "part-time" and "dual", respectively.

Make sure you contact your institution to find out what rate applies to you. The rates listed here are estimates.
